Chapter 415: Perfect Disguise
"This..."
Klein marveled at the methods of the "Hidden Angel." "Stealing" fate was a power exclusive to "Marauder" Angels, yet now the "Hidden Angel" had achieved this through the coordination of various powers.
"The Goddess also has the 'Misfortune' Authority, which can be considered part of fate. Also, could the 'Hidden Angel' be of the 'Dream' Pathway? They use Dream Phosphor even better than I do..."
Klein watched from the side, his mind involuntarily analyzing the situation.
The power regarding dreams was somewhat expected; the first time Klein saw the "Hidden Angel," he had discovered that this Angel was in excellent condition.
And it was while countless thoughts flashed through Klein's mind that his appearance and the clothes on his body began to change. Within just a few breaths, he had completely transformed into the likeness of Qiunas Colger.
Even the memories of this Major General flooded into Klein's mind.
"Director, Admiral Emilius invites you to attend a banquet."
"Then I will send you off." The "Hidden Angel" waved a hand, directly sending Klein and the marionette that had already lost its fate away.
"From today on, I am a Major General." Klein sat in the Deputy Director's office, looking at highly confidential secret documents, already quite accustomed to it.
This Admiral had an extremely aggressive style, even when playing cards; the vast majority of people could not withstand the majesty of a Demigod and would give up on calling the bet halfway through.
"Come in." Klein's expression turned solemn, allowing the assistant outside to enter.
This was a Demigod, and a "Law Magician" of the "Arbiter" Pathway.
Klein looked with a heavy expression at Admiral Emilius opposite him. This Admiral was one of the highest military commanders in Backlund, leading the Ministry of Defense, and possessed immense strength.
Emilius held a high position, even more powerful and influential than Qiunas, who was a Major General and Deputy Director, and could grasp even more information.
Attending a banquet? It's a card game, isn't it... Klein complained internally. Texas Hold'em was one of Qiunas Colger's favorite pastimes. His card skills weren't great, but he was very proficient in the fine manipulation of Demigod abilities during a game.
Quite a few high-ranking nobles and wealthy merchants had pale faces, having lost hundreds or thousands of pounds.
Incidentally, Klein picked up a "Chief Cigar." This was produced in East Balam and was recognized as the best cigar in the world; the Major General certainly knew how to enjoy life.
This was also Qiunas Colger's daily state.
"Recently, His Majesty..." Klein's expression looked somewhat unpleasant, and then he moved to gently pluck at a Causality Thread.
"Go and dig out the secrets of the Augustus Family for me. But you must not be discovered by anyone," the "Hidden Angel" said.
He naturally radiated an aura of nobility and majesty, causing the assistant to be unable to even lift their head.
"The implementation of the law is going smoothly because of the Church's tacit approval, but His Majesty feels it is not enough." Klein feigned a troubled appearance.
Klein's pupils turned black and gold, carrying a certain powerful sense of majesty.
"So, is there something the Angel needs me to do?" Klein looked at the "Hidden Angel" with vigilance; this was the expression and attitude Qiunas Colger should have, and in this aspect, it was also perfect.
George III has already become the Angel "Balancer"? It's a good thing I have now replaced Qiunas's fate, otherwise, I really wouldn't dare to appear before Him...
"Using Demigod-level abilities just to play cards, that's enough..." Klein complained with a blank expression, then used "Bribery" to "go on a killing spree" at the card table.
Although the two were opponents at the card table, they were on good terms in private.
104.233.243.184
This Admiral was originally the supreme commander of the Loen Sunia Sea Navy. Recently, due to his outstanding achievements, he had been promoted and entered the highest level of the Loen military.
"It seems Miss 'Judgment' is in MI9; should I secure some benefits for her?" Klein's imagination ran wild; in any case, it wasn't his own resources, so he wouldn't feel the pinch even if he threw it all away.
However, Qiunas Colger was not someone to be slaughtered at will. He enjoyed using the "Corrupt Baron's" "Bribery" during card games: lose once first to achieve "Bribery," then raise the bet, and win all the opponent's money in one hand.
Trapping yourself and me together, you really are brave, huh... Klein chose a direction to continue the conversation.
"I understand." Klein nodded slightly, and after another long moment of silence, the assistant, already accustomed to this situation, waited quietly.
Only after Klein finished reading the deployment map of the naval forces in his hand did he stand up and walk out of MI9, with the assistant following behind with lowered eyes and a submissive expression.
"Director?" A knock suddenly came from outside.
And he was also Qiunas Colger's main opponent when playing cards.
Klein could vaguely sense through the Causality Thread that this Demigod was not lying or hiding anything. His understanding of King George III was limited to this, consistent with what was said when Klein and the other two Archbishops visited.
"Wait a moment, I can't mess up the mission."
"Qiunas, you seem to be in a bad mood today." At the gathering after the card game, Admiral Emilius walked over to Qiunas Colger holding a glass of wine.
Admiral Emilius was in a relatively key position, but what he knew might not be too much; after all, he was still just a Sequence 4, and the Augustus Family had several figures even more powerful than him.
"Very good, perfect disguise." The "Hidden Angel" nodded with satisfaction.
"Hasn't His Majesty already become an Angel? Why is he still applying pressure? If this continues, the high-ranking nobles will inevitably unite to resist." Emilius indeed knew more.
Klein nodded heavily. As for the reward, it was, of course, the formula or materials for "Ancient Scholar"!
Soon, in the "East Balam Veterans Club," a card game involving two Demigods and several high-ranking nobles and wealthy merchants began.
Klein shook his head slowly, deciding to do it later.
Admiral Emilius also frowned, "His Majesty is indeed a bit impatient."
Klein's figure appeared in the Deputy Director's office of MI9. The first thing he did was take all the Sealed Artifacts from the marionette, and then sent it into the Phantom Realm Utopia.
"Good!"
From appearance to fate, from memory to Sequence abilities, everything was completely identical; this was a perfect disguise.
Klein nodded slightly, agreeing, "That is the logic. I have already received opinions from many nobles."
"Has anything happened at the Ministry of Defense?" Klein changed the subject.
And Admiral Emilius did not notice anything wrong, only feeling that Qiunas seemed much more agreeable today, which might have been related to him just losing a few hundred pounds to him...
